Flash-Cutting Home

Because I've been writing about horror film techniques in television animal documentaries, I've suddenly become obsessed with Flash Cut and Shock Cut editing. This poem is supposed to be a humorous response.



Flash-Cutting Home


a mustard jar

explodes

atop cherry tomatoes

from the garden


a rummage sale purse

flies

out the window

with a red high heeled shoe


A glass-shelved

china cupboard

smashes

to the floor


a bare foot

splinters

a shower stall

behind the locked door.
